Update (March 2023) (Last checked: Oktober 2024)

Side note: The latest edge build of KeeAgent plugin offers an option for creating a WSL compatible socket. This would be very handy. I already tried to use that socket, but the socket file is currently empty and ssh inside WSL 2 is unable to use it. This appears to be a very new, unreleased and unstable feature. I will follow the development of it and when it finally works (well, for me) I will update this HOWTO. But until then, please use the proven wsl-ssh-agent/npiperelay.exe approach below.

Thanks to the instructions for WSL 2 of the wsl-ssh-agent project, KeeAgent works great in WSL 2 now: https://github.com/rupor-github/wsl-ssh-agent#wsl-2-compatibility The approach uses minimal and well-maintained tools.

Object caching with Bedrock (and Trellis) using Redis

What is object caching

While nginx microcaching already solves page caching (as of static, rarely changing WordPress pages), the performance for dynamically generated pages (like WooCommerce shop pages and admin backend in general) can benefit greatly from additionally using an object cache. Object caching allows an application (in this case WordPress with its plugins, theme, etc.) to store prepared objects (mostly database queries) in a database and quickly retrieve them, therefore improving the performance of dynamic page generation. Object caching is (usually) transparent, which means that it shouldn't be noticeable by users and developers (except for the performance improvements of course).

Stuff I wish I'd known sooner about service workers

I recently had several days of extremely frustrating experiences with service workers. Here are a few things I've since learned which would have made my life much easier but which isn't particularly obvious from most of the blog posts and videos I've seen.

I'll add to this list over time – suggested additions welcome in the comments or via twitter.com/rich_harris.

Use Canary for development instead of Chrome stable

Chrome 51 has some pretty wild behaviour related to console.log in service workers. Canary doesn't, and it has a load of really good service worker related stuff in devtools.

Problem

The Realtek HD Audio manager isn't available on a recent (end 2020) Windows 10 system. The Realtek Audio chipset is on a Gigabyte mainboard.

Solution

1. Install the Realtek HD Audio driver from Gigabyte, not from official Realtek site. Note: There is no universal Realtek driver (yet), there is an unofficial one on GitHub though, but its installation requires multiple steps, system files/settings modifications, etc. Installation may require one or two subsequent reboots, first the setup uninstalls the existing/old/incorrect Realtek Audrio drivers, then reboots and the setup automatically starts itself (be patient!) after rebooting and logging in to install the new driver.

Edit (September 2020):

• Docker for Desktop can run on WSL 2 without any Virtual machine!
• WSL 2 is now available for stable Windows 10 (not just Insiders) via the (stable) Windows 10 May 2020 Update.
• WSL 2 is available for Windows Home editions, too, you don't need a Pro license!
• Docker for Desktop with WSL 2 eliminates many issues inherent to running a Linux VM and using shares into that VM.
• WSL 2 supports *nix permissions on Windows file systems mounted into WSL 2 (Postgres container mounts come into mind).
• WSL 2 also supports full GPU access – CUDA and such, too, since the 2021H2 November update even in non-insiders, stable!!
• VirtualBox (in recent version) [can now coexist with Hyper-V](https://us.informatiweb.net/tutorials/it/virtual
